The silver carriages were advancing slowly.
The prince was sitting in one of them. The girl put down the leather scroll and looked at the meeting hall, which looked like a white eyeball under the sunlight.
“Prince, the information on the scroll is too general, we can’t verify anything. We gave up the chance to visit Saladin to come here. I don’t want to waste my time on a potential lie.”
Prince Victoria waved at the crowd and responded with a smile on his face, “That’s why the king sent us here. We need to check if it’s a lie or not. The crown and the document are just excuses. If the man was telling the truth, it would only benefit the alliance.”
“That’s why my father decided to contact all the important members?” It sounded like the girl was talking to herself. “Why do you bring me here then? There are hundreds of people to replace me.”
“You’re aware what you’re up to; you might have a chance here.” The Prince patted the girl’s hand.
“Katarina, it’s impossible for you to decline the offers from the masters of the White Tooth Castle. We need to find someone strong that can help us.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll accept my destiny,” Princess Katarina responded. “I don’t care if I’ll become a lab material or a fertility tool. I was born with this strange body; there’s nothing else I can do.”
“You’re lucky when compared to Anthony. At least, this one is a male wizard.” The Prince sighed.
“Anthony…” Katarina remained silent after hearing the name. Anthony was a young prince that was sent to the White Tooth Castle. He was sent to a female wizard who was a famous abusive pedophile, and no one knew what happened to him.
The royal family had no way to decline a wizard’s request. The good thing was that the wizards did not send these requests often.
Katarina and Anthony faced the same problem. She had a special bloodline in her body and the wizards of White Tooth Castle wanted to study her body. However, another wizard organization named Eye of Beaver also showed such interest—they were famous for its research ability. White Tooth Castle wanted to sell the girl to Eye of Beaver; they were treating the girl like an item.
Katarina did not want to be treated like that, so the prince decided to help her. They visited many people, but no one wanted to become the enemy of the White Tooth Castle. They decided to visit Angele because it seemed like Angele was a legendary wizard. He was their last hope.
The carriages slowly stopped by the meeting hall. Two Rio Family’s members came out of the hall and greeted them.
“Welcome, Prince Victoria. The Master wants to see you, but you only have ten minutes. The Master has many visitors, sorry,” one of the family members spoke in a low voice.
Victoria nodded.
“May I bring my… sister with me? I think you know what’s going on with my sister, right?”
Blaine was the only female family leader and she had a general idea of Princess Katarina’s situation, however, she could not make the decision by herself. She did not want to offend Angele in any way.
She remained silent for a while after hearing the request.
“I’m sorry…”
The Prince had a bitter smile on his face and it seemed like he had something else to say.
*PA*
He suddenly stepped on the stairs and picked Katarina up. They went around the two family leaders and charged into the door.
“How dare you!”
“Stop them!”
Weapons were drawn and three people charged to the prince and the princess, followed by several guards.
The prince lowered his body and dodged the swords. He stood in the center of the meeting hall and stopped moving right away.
*CHI CHI CHI*
They were surrounded by the guards with different weapons in their hands. They would attack the prince and the princess if anything happened.
The prince remained calm. He just stood there and faced the weapons.
“Sorry, Master Angele. I had to do this. This might not be the best method, but I needed to do whatever I can to help my sister.”
He was speaking calmly and there was a blank expression on his face, but the guards around them were breathing heavily.
Princess Katarina was surprised by what the prince just did. She did not expect something like this would happen. They were strangers to Angele, who could be a legendary wizard. However, she knew that it was the only way for her to meet the wizard.
She was anxious and already lost her calm. Katarina raised her head and looked at the man in a long purple robe sitting in their front.
The man’s face was covered by a mask but it seemed like he was young based on the look of his skin. He had a pair of beautiful eyes and it felt like his eyes were prettier than those of the most attractive princess in the palace. There was dedication in the man’s eyes, but she felt like that she was staring into the abyss.
“Is that so? Is that why you decided to break the rules?” Angele questioned in a light tone. “You’re an important member of the alliance, but rules are rules.”
He was speaking in a calm tone, but it felt like he could attack the prince at any time.
The atmosphere got heavy in the hall when Angele finished his words; the people in the hall all trembled.
Prince Victoria remained calm.
“I have no intention to offend you in any way, Master Angele, but my sister has a special bloodline in her body and she might help your research. Also, Katarina respects you a lot. I hope you can take her in…”
Although it was not shown on his face, inwardly, he was anxious as hell.
Before he could finish his words, the prince’s sight blurred and his bones were broken. He was hit by an incredibly powerful force that was coming from the right.
*BAM*
The prince hit the wall on the left, kicking up dust everywhere. Blood was spurting out of his mouth, turning his white robe red.
*CHI*
The prince’s right arm was pulled off by an invisible force.
*BOOM*
The arm broke into pieces and the flesh splashed on the white blanket.
The whole meeting hall was silent. Vienna, Blaine, the guards, and the other family members were all surprised. They did not expect Angele to attack the prince like he was his biggest enemy.
Angele sat in the chair and glanced at the injured prince.
“This is a small punishment for ignoring my rules. My rules must be followed.”
Angele would have killed the prince if he was in the Nightmare Realm, but he did not want it to become a problem to the Rio Family.
The prince landed on the floor after hitting the wall. Katarina ran to him and helped him lie down while crying. She tried her best to hold her voice down as she crouched by the prince.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy.
Angele did not care about the others. He just looked at the princess.
“Your brother lost an arm for you, so I’ll check your condition. Come to me.”
Katarina was still crying by the prince’s side; it felt like she did not hear those words.
The prince grabbed Katarina’s hand.
“Go…”
He spat out the word.
Katarina held his hand tight with a face that was covered with tears.
“Go, I’ll go. So, please don’t do something like this again!”
She released the prince’s hand and slowly stood up. She walked to Angele slowly and stopped when she was about one meter away from him.
“Huh?”
Angele thought it would be a waste of time but his expression changed gradually as Katarina moved toward him. There were blue light dots flashing in front of his eyes.
“Your hair grows fast and you’ll feel cold from time to time, right?” he suddenly asked.
Katarina stopped crying and nodded slightly. Angele was excited. He could almost confirm that the bloodline in the girl’s body was one of the 36 special bloodlines.
However, he still scanned the girl using the biochip.
‘Scan completed, analyzing the data…
‘Completed. The target has a special bloodline. It’s one of the 36 special bloodlines called Tearsi.
‘Data of Bloodline Tearsi: It takes 25 years for the bloodline to mature. Special Effect: The virgin blood of the target will increase the damage of an offensive magic device greatly.’
He confirmed his assumption.
“Walk to me, girl, closer.”
A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Angele’s face.
“I want to see you closely.”
Katarina’s body trembled as the smile appeared on Angele’s face.
Katarina, the prince, and the other family members’ bodies all trembled. They looked at Angele like looking at a psychopath.
Angele almost killed the prince yet his attitude suddenly changed completely. That was the reason why they were all surprised.
Katarina knew that she could not say no say, so she moved closer to Angele.
Angele grabbed her hand and used his hair to stab into the girl’s wrist. The hair started sucking her blood like an insect. Katarina was scared but she did not move an inch.
Angele’s expression loosened as the hair sucked her blood.
He also tried to stab the girl’s forehead using the hair.
*DING*
After the noise, a blue eagle mark appeared on Katarina’s forehead. A ray of blue light was released by the mark and the light turned into an old wizard in a white robe.
“Who are you? With all due respect, Katarina will be transferred to the White Tooth Castle soon. I don’t care which organization you’re from, please follow the rules of the wizard alliance…” the old wizard said.
“This girl is a student of my student. How dare you! You can’t take her away from me based on the rules of the wizard alliance. I’m a kind man, so I’ll let this one slid. Alright, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”
Angele finished those words and destroyed the old wizard’s hologram using a string of red light. He found a random excuse to ignore the rules. He had no interest in such a boring matter. Angele still had a lot of things to take care of, and Katarina just made things more complicated.
His magic devices were all destroyed and it was not a good idea for wizards to fight with the true form. He was not in the Nightmare Realm, and the realm power of the wizard world would not help him. With a valid magic device, he could easily handle daily encounters. The two magic devices he lost during the fight against an ancestor helped him survive the battle.
Angele collected a lot of rare materials in the maze and was already designing an extremely strong magic device. The magic device could reach the power level of a rank 7 wizard and the device could help him focus his force.
The power of a rank 7 wizard was not really attractive to Angele, but the girl’s bloodline might be extremely helpful. The bloodline would increase the power of the magic device greatly.
The bloodline of the girl gave Angele some new ideas, and with the data he had in the biochip, he had the chance to create one of the most powerful magic devices in the history.
